Cleveland City Council and Mayor Justin Bibb are tussling over the city budget, specifically over how much money is earmarked for neighborhoods. Council members wanted an allocation so they can control how $600,000 can be spent in each of their wards. In Akron, the budget season is marked by belt tightening. The $798 million budget proposed by Mayor Shammas Malik represents a two percent decrease over the last budget due to concerns of uncertainty around federal funding the expiration of federal COVID-related funding. Visits to food banks in Ohio are up 10% in each of the last three years, which is why anti-hunger advocates are concerned about a possible cut in state funding.

He submitted his proposal to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Medicaid covers about 3 million people in Ohio. Two Republican lawmakers want Ohio's school kids to spend more time in the classroom, proposing a bill that would add 53 hours of instructional time to the school year.

Kate Brown to allow broad exemptions for health care workers, teachers and other state employees who will soon have to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a documented exemption to keep their jobs.

What defines 'Leadership' in today's day and age? Two case studies—one out of Texas and one out of Arizona—provide a stunningly clear answer as to what it looks like to lead a state versus simply managing its decline. Ahead of Memorial Day Weekend, Doug Ducey of Arizona stunningly vetoed a number of bills, including two direly needed bills no "Republican" should ever veto. Meanwhile, in Austin, Governor Greg Abbott plays hard ball with Democrats who refuse to secure our elections. Charlie compares and contrasts the two and explains the real reason behind why Ducey is refusing to be accountable to the people he claims to represent.  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two Republican congressmen in the U.S. House of Representatives have introduced a bill that would legalize marijuana federally in a manner similar to alcohol. The measure would remove marijuana from the federal Controlled Substances Act, provide explicit banking protections for the cannabis industry, allow military veterans access to state-legal MJ programs and expand research. The new Congress, seated in January, must start from scratch in terms of passing marijuana legislation. The House took the first step in April by passing cannabis banking reform. More than 108 million Americans aged 21 and over, 43.2% of the country’s adult population, now have access to legal cannabis. While expansion of access to any new states is cause for optimism, these recent moves are notable due to the momentum they will add to further legalization efforts. BDSA expects that cannabis will be legalized federally by 2022, but as many states still have laws criminalizing cannabis, legalization will also need to take place on a state-by-state basis before the country can truly leave prohibition behind. The spread of adult-use legalization to more markets in the South and Southwest could provide momentum for legalization in states where cannabis reform now seems like a pipe dream.

Two Republican widows are running for the congressional seats vacated by their late husbands. They represent a long history of wives stepping up to carry on the work of their spouses.

Two Republican attacks were launched in the hope of forcing forces to be moved from the north to other areas of Spain. These two attacks, at Guadarrama and Huesca will be our first topic for this episode. However, the primary focus will be on the battle of Brunete. This attack would be launched in July 1937 by the Republican Army and it would achieve one of its goals of forcing the Nationalists to move troops away from their attacks in the north, even if it was in reality too late to halt the collapse of the enclave. The Republicans would commit their best troops, and most of their armor assets, to the attack at Brunete and the failure of the attack would begin a clear decline in the fighting capabilities of the Republican forces, from which they would never really recover.

Florida has reached yet another milestone in the COVID-19 crisis: the death toll passed the 26,000 mark with 231 additional fatalities Tuesday. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — After being dissed by the White House over his complaints about vaccine shortages, Gov. Ron DeSantis flip-flops. Instead of getting the greatest number of shots in arms, DeSantis says the state is now withholding COVID-19 vaccines to ensure seniors and health care workers can get a second dose. — That announcement is a response to President Joe Biden’s press secretary, who said Florida had used only half the vaccines provided by the federal government. — Two Republican lawmakers, furious that Donald Trump was banished from Twitter, filed bills to punish the tech giants … claiming conservatives are being censored. — The bill targets Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet … and China. — The Senate Criminal Justice Committee votes to close a loophole in the sex offender registry law that allowed a convicted child molester to stay off the list by simply refusing to pay his court fine. — And finally, a Florida Man named paramedic of the year in 2020 is charged with helping his boss steal COVID-19 vaccine.

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2021.00.01 EMERGENCY PODCAST EPISODE Addendum How Did We Get Here The Broken Society, and, the War Between the Republican Characters Gathering my thoughts around the events that occurred on January 6th 2021, I recorded this addendum on a topic I will speak more forcefully about over the next twelve months – the true “divide” defining this country. In this episode segment I have coined the phrase “Republican Characters” to describe the two competing ideological arguments set forward by Northern Secularists and Southern Theocrats during the years and decades immediately after the 1776 “Revolution”. These two arguments, when combined with the Federalist and Anti-Federalist movements occurring during the American Confederacy years; and in later years the Segregationist and Anti-Segregationist movements; thoroughly shaped the governmental strategies and political aims for each party. In the 1960s, as was the case in the early 1800s and the reconstruction decade of 1865-1875; one ideological camp checkmated the political strategies of the other camp. In the 1960s, the Anti-Segregationists checkmated the Segregationists and started a policy of political economic integration of the latter; this was essentially the continuance of the North’s attempt during the Reconstruction decade to economically integrate the South into its financial culture. History tells us, despite these seemingly watershed moments where one side has won over the other, proceeding events disprove this assumption. In this episode segment I suggest the reason why this assumption does not hold true is because the true fight was never about Segregationist or Non-Segregationist (Uncle Tom’s Cabins’ author Harriet Beecher Stowe does a marvelous job dispelling this myth) or to a far lesser extent, though move heavily weighing on the institutional structures we have come to rely on for this nation’s health, about Federalist or Anti-Federalist; but more about a Republican Agenda built from competing Republican Structures derived from A system of Republican Philosophy, Laws & Constitutional Organs which could be split up into two separate groups, both deriving themselves from Eurocentric Christian Governmental norms that preceded the country; the first was chiefly found in the South, it could be called a Theocratic Oligarchic Republican System, while the second was chiefly found in the North and could be called a Secular Christian Oligarchic Republican System.

Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is expressing doubts about a state legislative hearing scheduled for Friday. Two Republican-led committees plan to take invited testimony on the Nov. 3 election. Official results show Presiden-elect Joe Biden carried Wisconsin by about 21,000 votes over President Donald Trump. But repeatedly in court and now in the Legislature, some in the GOP are questioning the result. Thursday, while speaking to the news media, Evers described what he expects at Friday’s session: "You know, it's going to be the same old crap, frankly. It's going to be people coming in without direct knowledge, giving some kind of harebrained charge that can't be validated." Evers said one result of the hearing may be some people deciding not to vote in future elections. "Every time we do something like this, as a country, as a state, as individuals, we're taking more people out of the system. They're going to say, 'This is crazy. I'm not going to vote anymore,’ " he says. For now

It’s been 17 days since Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg succumbed to cancer at the age of 87. Ginsburg was a heroic figure for millions of Americans: as the Notorious RBG, she was an icon of liberal grace, resilience and reason. A week after Ginsburg’s death, President Trump announced his pick for her replacement – conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett, whom Trump named to the 7th Circuit court three years ago. Judge Barrett will be questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee during four days of hearings set to begin next Monday, with a full Senate vote on her confirmation possible before the end of October, although that timetable could be upset by the Coronavirus. Two Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee, Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, have tested positive for the virus. Both attended the event at the White House in which Judge Barrett was introduced as Mr. Trump’s nominee. At least four other people who attended that event have also tested positive... Today on Midday -- on this First Monday in October and the first day of the Supreme Court’s new term -- we’ll consider the political turmoil surrounding the Barrett nomination, some of the big cases that the court will decide this term, and the possible role the court might play in a contested presidential election. Joining us for the hour on Zoom is Kim Wehle, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, and a former Assistant U.S. Attorney. She is a legal expert for CBS News and the author of two excellent books, How to Read the Constitution—and Why, and What You Need to Know About Voting — and Why.

Two Republican senators announced a new phase of the probe into possible corruption by Hunter Biden a mere hour after President Trump was acquitted of the two articles of impeachment. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (Wis.) on Wednesday sent a letter to U.S. Secret Service Director James Murray in which they requested the travel records of Hunter Biden, the son of presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Republican Victory In North Carolina Good News For Trump 2020 Reelection, But Democrats Making Gains.In a replacement election and a 'do over' two republicans won congressional districts. One easily defeated the Democratic contender while the other was narrow.In a narrow victory Dan Bishop won a do over election. While this is good news and considered to be Trump "passing a test" on whether he is going to do well in 2020, it was still ten points down from his lead in 2016.Democrats may be making gains, at least on the surface. But there may be another reason for the major drop in republican party support, Trump's base.Many voters came out in 2016 not to support the GOP but to support Trump himself. Democrats may noit actually have a strong lead at all, it may just be that Trump voters don't show up for anyone else. This means come 2020 Trump's base will check R across the board and sweep the house. While far left Democrats are causing a rift in the party moderates are feeling pushed away by the encroaching ideology and policies presented by 2020 Democrats. This may spell victory for Trump in 2020. At the very least the GOP held its own and its good news for republicans all around.Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate)

The historic 2018 Texas election is in the books and even though some of the dust has yet to settle -- the vote counting continues in a few races -- there is plenty to be said for what it all means. The race between Sen. Ted Cruz and Beto O'Rourke was so competitive that it drove Democrats to victories down the ballot in parts of Texas where they have not been competitive in the past. There is no doubt that a blue wave crashed into a red wall in Texas but not without doing some significant damage to the Republican Party's grip on power at the Capitol in Austin. Two Republican state senators lost their races while Democrats gained 12 seats in the Texas House. Despite the energy behind O'Rourke, the GOP held the line in every statewide race including wins for Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton, Comptroller Glenn Hegar, and others. Go behind the headlines for a look at what's really going on at the Texas Capitol and in Washington with the state's #1 political podcast: The Texas Take.

Two Republican legislators in South Carolina proposed a new monument on the state Capitol grounds to honor Confederate soldiers—this time commemorating black fighting men who went to battle for the South. This idea is both ill-considered and offensive. First, the estimated 6,000 African-Americans who did fight for the Confederacy were mostly slaves, and forced to do so—many deserted when the Confiscation Acts and Emancipation Proclamation offered freedom to those who crossed Union lines. Second, black soldiers represented less than 1 percent of the 750,000 white Confederates—and a tiny fraction of the 200,000 blacks who served the Union military. Finally, it makes no sense to construct new memorials to those who fought against the United States in an effort to destroy our country. Yes, there may be romance and sentiment associated with the South’s “Lost Cause” but conservatives who want support from people of color must unequivocally acknowledge that this Lost Cause deserved to lose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
